M218.158 Digital built-in caliper, 500 mm — capacitive measuring, stainless housing (Metav IndustryLine)

The M218.158 is a built‑in digital caliper for horizontal mounting, engineered for medium‑range precision measurement tasks in machine shops, jigs and fixtures, and quality control.

• Capacitive measuring system for stable readings
• 500 mm range for medium-size components
• Large housing with digital mm/inch and preset functions

Reliable mid-range precision for production measurement

The instrument combines a 500 mm measuring range with a capacitive measuring system, offering stable readings across medium‑sized components where both reach and rigidity matter. The device meets DIN 862 requirements and is designed for horizontal installation into machine tables or fixtures, which simplifies repeatable integration into production processes. With a resolution of 0.01 mm and a specified accuracy of 0.05 mm, the caliper provides clear numeric evidence for routine production checks and in‑process control, making it suitable for workshop standard measurements and QA tasks where robustness and repeatability are required.

Practical digital functions that speed up inspection

Built‑in electronics include a digital display with on/off, mm/inch, ABS/INC, and ZERO/PRESET keys, enabling quick unit changes and reference resets on the shop floor. The capacitive sensor reduces mechanical wear compared with older contact systems and keeps maintenance demands low, while the RB 2 data output allows direct capture of measurements for SPC or machine‑side logging. The combination of a large display housing and standard digital interfaces supports faster inspection cycles and reduces manual transcription errors, improving throughput and traceability in repetitive measurement tasks.

Durability and workshop suitability for medium components

Constructed for horizontal mounting and finished in stainless materials, the instrument resists corrosion in humid or oily environments common to metalworking shops. At approximately 1.4 kg, the unit strikes a balance between solidity and manageable handling during installation. As a medium‑class caliper (measuring range up to 500 mm), it bridges bench‑top gauges and long‑range instruments, offering sufficient stiffness for components such as housings, fixtures and medium assemblies without the complexity of large‑format systems. The housed electronics protect the readout and controls, providing a durable solution for daily use.
